Financial Statements Continuation




5 AUGUST 2004 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 95 2389

4. Financial Instruments

Investments are stated at market value as at balance date. Accrued interest, accounts payable and donations approved not yet paid are stated at the amounts expected to be received or paid. Accordingly, the trustees consider that the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is the same as the carrying value in the financial position.

Concentration of Investments

Ninety-nine point nine percent (99.9%) of the assets of the trust are represented by investments held with a range of financial institutions. However, the trustees consider the risk of non-recovery of these investments to be minimal. Maximum exposure to credit risk as at balance date is:

2004 $(000) 2003 $(000)
Bank balances 8 80
Bank term deposits 2 90
Accounts receivable 31
Interest free loans 30
Investments 118,958 106,261

Currency Risk

The trust incurs currency risk as a result of investment transactions entered into by fund managers. The trust has a policy of fully hedging global bonds and fifty percent (50%) hedging global equities.

Interest Rate Risk

The following investments of the trust are sensitive to changes in interest rates: Bank call accounts and deposits, government and local authority securities, and securities held by fund managers.

Fair Value

The carrying value is considered to be the fair value for financial instruments.

5. Investments

The value of investments which are held in equities and fixed interest are subject to market fluctuations. The total investment portfolio is diversified in such a way that over time reductions in value in particular asset classes should be more than offset by increases in other classes. Investments are disclosed at market value at balance date and any gains (losses) arising from that treatment are shown as “investment gains (losses)” in the statement of financial performance. Therefore, no provision has been made for potential gains or losses that could occur due to future market fluctuations. The investment portfolio as at 31 March 2004 is diversified as follows:

Asset Tower Asset Management AMP Capital Investors Russell International Share Fund Total
New Zealand equities 6,105 6,105
New Zealand fixed interest 23,678 23,678
New Zealand cash 15,249 17,193 32,442

Total 2003 41,561 37,675 27,025 106,261

The balance date figures above are reflected in the trust’s asset allocations:
